am i wrong to feel a little vindicated?

Posted by Andie (aka Andie) May 14 '10, 23:02

dave forgets his cell phone at home all the time, so if i need to reach him, i can't.

today, apparently, he left it at work inadvertantly.

Meanwhile, i went out for dinner with a bunch of friends i haven't seen for ages for a friend's birthday and thought i'd be home at 11 at the latest. Well, we decided to go out for drinks after, so i called at about 11:15 and left a message saying that's where i was. At about 12:30 dave got worried and went to call me, but of course realized he didn't have his phone, so he went to a *payphone* to call me, but i didn't even hear mine ring in the bar.

so, i leave the bar and get on the subway and i don't even get his message till about 1:30 when i'm almost home. I come home, parking space is empty but all the lights and the tv are on and i know he's looking gone to get his phone at work to see if i've called -s o he's out driving the half hour back to his office to see if i've left him a message because he's so worried.

i feel bad that he's worried, but not much, i'm mostly glad he realizes how ANNOYING and frustrating it is when someone can't be reached.

ha.

I've never understood the necessity and overuse of a cell phone. This constant being in touch is overkill imo -- nm - CQ May 15, 06:31 15

- it certainly is necessary now that public phones are practically gone. -- nm - loosilu May 15, 08:26 8
  - wait, you're a pool boy. You work on site and you have a crew. you *need* a cell phone. - loosilu May 15, 08:28
  - I actually ran into this situation the other day. Cell phone died and my friend who I had come to visit was not home. - TFox May 15, 08:28 6
    - the situation that drives me crazy is when there's someone you need to get in touch with and you can't find them. - loosilu May 15, 08:30 5
      - i will also 100% admit that SheFox's refusal to be near her cell phone so I can reach her drives me up a wall, and it shouldn't. - TFox May 15, 08:33 4

        both sets of parents here keep their phones off. they're for making a call if they need to, and that's it! don't want to waste the battery. -- nm - kare May 15, 09:24
- having the cell phone at hand and then using it are two different things - Danedukenuuk May 15, 08:00
- constantly blowing a horn in mousehunt is overkill. phones are great ways to save time and be efficiant -- nm - Redmond on a phone May 15, 07:31
- You're entitled to your opinion, but I think you're not seeing the whole picture. Crash and I both have one yet we rarely talk to each othe especially - Trish May 15, 07:20
- I agree that they are overused. But the ability to be in-touch, *anywhere* is a very good. thing. -- nm - JaxSean May 15, 07:18
